1. Rock bands don't shout their name at the intro of their songs which is the current egotistical trend for pop acts who didn't even write the song they're stamping their name all over lol.
2. Rock bands don't jump around flashing designer labels and thick gold chains while having a bunch of mixed race girls girate upon them like they are some kind of gods purely because they've been chosen to perform on a song some overweight 40 year old music producer wrote for them.
3. Rock bands don't collaborate with about 5 different trendy flavour of the month artists on each song each providing the valuable contribution of reciting about 2 lines. In most cases collaborating does not involve actually writing anything
4. While "superstars" like Cher Lloyd and JLS are selling 50,000 copies to get to #1 in the singles chart, "unknown nobody" rock bands like Metallica, Disturbed and Tool are selling millions of albums and selling out arenas all over the world.
5. Rock bands write their songs. They start up and make it on their own. All this is done without the help of Max Martin, RedOne, Ryan Tedder, Diane Warren or whoever else wrote your favorite pop song.
6. Rock is 4 guys in a room creating music with instruments. It is a craft and it takes talent which is why only rock bands can make rock music whereas the easy to make RnB comes off the conveyor belt at the ready made hits factory.
7. Rock bands don't plast their mugs on the cover of their albums. They have art work on it.
8. Rock bands' music is famous, not them. They can walk down the street without being noticed but their music is all over films and tv shows because they are chosen to soundtrack emotional and intense scenes.
9. Rock bands let the music do the talking, not their outfits.
10. Rock bands are intelligent and articulate and able to talk about topics other than bitches, ho's and designer sunglasses.
11. Rock bands don't need to appear on X Factor, tell a sob story to Cheryl Cole, pass an assessment conducted by musical genius Danni Minogue and try to sell themselves to Simon "I know F**k all about music" Cowell.
12. Rock music has emotion, artistic integrity and an organic production that is focused upon letting the music resonate.
13. Rock bands make albums where each track flows from one to the other with fluency and is pieced together to be a journey from start to finish. Not 10 random tracks thrown together by a million different producers and songwriters.
By the way I'm talking about alternative rock bands in this part, like Jimmy Eat World, Rise Against, Death Cab for Cutie, Brand New, in case any of you wanna let me know that Nickelback posed topless on one of their album covers or that Bon Jovi collaborated with Max Martin.
Now i Do agree that Hip Hop is more listened to now, and the word "Superior" means " higher in rank, status, or quality." But that is because that youth now has found a genre that everyone listens to. Do to all the marketing most of the Hip Hop music has in the culture today, For Example: Sports marketing for video games, shoes, clothing, and upcoming games. Also hip hop is on a lot of different TV shows. Superior is hip hop, but "Better" is rock.
I have the rights to post anything adding to my arguments in the next round
(Remember i said you can do all different types of music in Rock and Hip Hop, So you can do any you want, Thank You)
1. Usually the only time hip-hop artists shout their name in the beginning of their songs is when it is a single, but if it's in an album, it usually doesn't. Also, many Hip-Hop artists write their own music, they just don't usually produce them themselves, and not many Rock bands produce their own music either.
2. Like I said earlier, the artists for the most part write the music themselves, they just don't produce it themselves, which is the same for many rock bands. Plus, there are plenty of Hip-Hop artists who perform by themselves on stage without wearing any gold chains.
3. Many Hip-Hop collaborations have each artists collaborating to the song or album equally, or about equal, and the artists who collaborate usually write their parts of the song, if their collaboration is through rapping.
4. Cher Lloyd and JLS are not really superstars, or at least they haven't been for a couple years, but even then, they commonly sell more than 50,000 copies of their singles.
5. I've said this twice before, most Hip-Hop artists write their own songs, they just usually don't produce them themselves, which is true for most Rock bands as well. Plus, why would a pop songwriter write a Hip-Hop song? Hip-Hop and Pop are 2 different genres.
But tell me. how is Hip hop better than rock. Not to be rude but you haven't given me a reason. Also You haven't attacked my other 8 points, so you must agree that 8 of my points are correct. but here are more arguments.
1) People only like the music because it's popular. I like music whether it's popular or not. People only like these artists just because they are well... Popular.
2) Hip Hop artists sound like they are mumbling half the time. If you hear the song "Lifestyle" (performed by Young Thug & Rich Homie Quan) than you will know what i mean. The verse "N***** livin' life like a beginner and this only the beginnin'
I'm on the top of the mountain, puffin' on clouds and n***** still beginnin'. When i heard it, it sounded like doodle bob from spongebob. "MEE HOY MINOY! MeyoyYOY, ladyonmamoy!", that's what i heard.
3) Now i wouldn't consider drake to be a hip hop artist but about half the hip hop fans do, so i have to at least talk about him. Most hip hop, is simple-minded. Drakes new hit "Hotline Bling" doesn't even have a meaning, Drake only added that in the lyrics because it's catchy, which I think is stupid.
4) And one thing i hate is that hip hop artists are dumb. Really. Just saying some or all of the lyrics are just stupid. Most of the time They have no meaning. Rock sometimes do too, but we can explain them.
i will give a few verses.
"I like them black, white, Puerto Rican, or Haitian/Like Japanese, Chinese, or even Asian." - Chingy
Because Japanese and Chinese people totally aren't Asian or anything.
"I woke up out that coma 2001, bout the same time Dre dropped 2001." - The Game
Either that was a two-year coma, the bullets really messed up his sense of time, or Game"s using "bout" in the loosest sense possible, because Dre"s 2001 came out in 1999.
"I scored 1.1 on my SATs, but I still push a whip with a right and left AC." - Redman
Okay, first of all, you couldn't possibly score a 1.1 on your SATs no matter how smoked out your brain was. Mainly because the SATs aren't scored that way. Second, having a whip with a right and left AC isn't exactly an accomplishment. And finally, since when do they sell cars with an AC only on one side anyway?
"America's pie, put my hand in the pot." - Tyga
Who bakes pies in a pot?
"License plate say 'money makin' ni**a fa sho'." - Mannie Fresh
That"s way too many letters to fit on a license plate. Maybe he got the DMV to make him a "fo sho" license plate and then he glued a piece of cardboard onto his car before it that reads "money makin" nigga". Alternate hypothesis: He"s driving in a car in Germany. They"ve got insanely long license plates over there.
"Round the same time Nas said 'I Can,' Bush was sending our fam to Iran." - Kanye West
Apparently, we invaded Iran years ago
"You done broke my heart into a million pieces/I should have seen it coming, wish I had telekinesis." - LMFAO
Picking on LMFAO for bad rhymes is like picking on a fat, asthmatic kid for being slow, but this song was being played on the radio 7,972 times a day at one point so we just have to single it out. While having telekinesis"the ability to move objects with your mind"would be cool, it definitely wouldn't help you see anything coming.
"There's three of us/But we're not the Beatles." - Run"D.M.C.
Actually, the Beatles had four members. That's sorta why they called them the Fab Four, you know?
"I'm an animal/Half man, half mammal." - Jay-Z
First off, Jigga establishes that he is not a man but an animal. But then, he claims he is in fact, half of a man. And then he asserts that he's a half mammal which means he could be either a human being or a variety of animals that are categorized as mammals. What we're trying to say here is that we are confused.
See what i mean? look at rocks list. They are weird but they can be explained.
"Polly wants a cracker I think I should get off her first I think she wants some water To put out the blow torch"- Nirvana
This is that a rape victim is raping a 14 year old girl. Which really happened. This song helped a lot of rape victims get through what they were going through. Don't ask why, all i know is that it did.
"I'm on the highway to hell"- Ac/Dc
Vocalist Brian Johnson explained to The Metro October 15, 2009: "It was written about being on the bus on the road where it takes forever to get from Melbourne or Sydney to Perth across the Nullarbor Plain. When the Sun's setting in the west and you're driving across it, it is like a fire ball. There is nothing to do, except have a quick one off the wrist or a game of cards, so that's where Bon came up with the lyrics."
"Squeeze me baby, till the juice runs down my leg; The way you squeeze my lemon, I"m gonna fall right out of bed."-
Led Zepplin
It's about sex. It's about sex. No other explanation.
"Goddamn, you half-Japanese girls do it to me every time / The redhead said you shred the cello, and I"m Jell-O."-weezer
Cuomo drops lines about pro wrestlers and indie rockers throughout the song, but i like the opening lines the best " autobiographical jabs at his penchant for Asian women who can be just as nerdy as he is.
"She turned my dad on"- The gorillaz
Lead singer Damon Albarn's dad had a thing for a British pornstar.
"Come on along on an eastern shore Come on along, you're mine Come on along on a winter's morn Come on along, you're mine Mine"- Smashing Pumpkins
This isn't about a girl he likes. This is a dad putting a little boy to war.
So really, Rock songs may be odd but the have meaning. Hip Hop artists, and excuse my language, Dumb asses.
And like i said, People only like this music because it is popular. And people who have heard a rock song think it'sweird and creepy. The other day i was listening to "Dream On" by aerosmith. Beautiful song. And a girl told me to turn off my devil music and she was listening to as song loud that it could be heard throughout my school about a guy screwing ho's while having std's while smoking a blunt. And liking it. This kinda stuff is why kids now are trying to be "Thug". I'm a kid too but it wrong. 10-17 year olds talking about getting high, f****** b******, getting lit, is just wrong. And it's hip hop that influences that. I'm not talking about all people. But cmon. It's alot of people.
And why is hip hop so easy to make. I could make a hip hop song on my phone right now. Rock Takes talent to make a song. It takes guts to do what rock musicians do. Playing on stage with something hip hop artists don;t have. INSTRUMENTS!!!!!!!! I was in a car and my brother was listening to a hip hop station and i heard a guitar and i said " A GUITAR?!?!On this channel?" But guess what? it turned out to be a commercial. And not one song on that station had any instruments except the beat they make on their phones.
It's crap like that responsible for "the whip and nae nae' and "the dab".
piefav forfeited this round.
Dedpewl forfeited this round.

So many decisions to make! The location of your portrait session has a big impact on what your final images will look like, and beyond that, it's a reflection of who you are and what your style is. Maybe you love nature and want to stroll through beautiful gardens to show it. Maybe you love Columbus and want to showcase its downtown architecture. There are lots of great options for your portrait session around Columbus, and I'd like to provide some information on a few of my favorites below!
Inniswood Metro Gardens (Westerville): Inniswood is one of the most photogenic locations in all of Columbus, and has so much to offer for portrait sessions. The park features a rose garden, multiple trellises, a gazebo, forest, a "secret garden", several bridges, and ponds. It can get very crowded with photographers on weekends, but with good reason: it's truly a gorgeous location. View a senior session at Inniswood here.
Everal Barn (Westerville): Everal Barn is the perfect place to get a rustic feeling without leaving Columbus. It features a barn, historic house, lake, and several trails. Occasionally Everal Barn hosts events that will book up the park on Saturdays, but it tends to be free other days of the week. View a family session at Everal Barn here.
Glen Echo Park (Clintonville): Glen Echo is a relatively unheard of little park in Clintonville, and it is probably my favorite forested park in Columbus! Most people don't know of this gem of a location, which means we often have the place to ourselves when we go. Glen Echo features a tall wooden staircase into its ravine, a stone bridge, a mural of Ohio birds, and so much more. View a senior session at Glen Echo Park here.
Whetstone Park & Columbus Park of Roses (Clintonville): This park is aptly named for its magnificent rose gardens that bloom in the summertime. It also features several paths, trees, and structures, that make for lots of options for portrait sessions.
Antrim Park (Worthington): Antrim Park is a large park near Worthington with lots of options for portraits. A long trail wraps around Antrim Lake, which has a dock at its entrance. View a senior session at Antrim Lake here.
Columbus Zoo* (Dublin): If you are an animal lover, the Columbus Zoo is for you! Walk through the various animal exhibits and the central reflecting pond. The zoo is particularly beautiful just before the winter holidays during Wildlights.
Hayden Falls Park (Dublin): Hayden Falls is a beautiful park containing its namesake waterfall, along with meandering boardwalks, trails, and forests. It's a bit more walking than some locations, but is well worth it!
Highbanks Metro Park (Lewis Center) Highbanks Metro Park is known for its scenic woodland trails and and scenery on the banks of the Olentangy River. It also features gorgeous views, fields full of tall grass and wildflowers, and lots of variety in landscapes.
Jeffrey Park & Mansion (Bexley): Jeffrey Park is one of my favorite locations in Columbus, and it has so much to offer! This large park faces Jeffrey Mansion on one side and Alum Creek on the other, and features forests, small wooden bridges, a boardwalk, and lots of corners and crevices to explore adjacent to the mansion itself. View a senior session at Jeffrey Park here.
The Ohio State University Campus (Downtown): Want to showcase your buckeye pride? There is no place like the heart of it all, on the Ohio State campus. The Oval, South Oval, Stadium, and Mirror Lake all are great spots for pictures, and the Ohio Union makes for a great backup location in case of rain. View an engagement session on campus here.
North Bank Park (Downtown): North Bank Park offers fantastic views of the Columbus skyline and has some interesting architecture of its own as well. View an engagement session at North Bank Park here.

Schiller Park & German Village (Downtown): Located in the heart of German Village, Schiller Park has a lot to offer for portrait sessions. It features a stage, several paths, bridges, and beautiful blossoming trees in the springtime. What makes this park even better is its proximity to sites in German Village like The Book Loft (which does allow photography inside)! View an engagement session at Schiller Park here.
Bicentennial Park & The Scioto Mile (Downtown): Bicentennial Park features a fountain and a fantastic view of the Columbus skyline. Follow the Scioto Mile for some interesting spots along the Scioto River and downtown. View an engagement session done partially at Bicentennial Park here.
The Short North & Italian Village (Downtown): The Short North is such a fun and unique neighborhood, and what better place to do a portrait session? The Short North is full of interesting murals and architecture, and it's possible to even get a portrait there in the middle of High Street! Italian Village and Victorian Village are also close by, making for an easy combination. View an engagement session partially in the Short North here.
Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens* (Downtown): Franklin Park is a gorgeous location for portraits both inside and out. Outside, the botanical gardens are full of beautiful flowers and landscaping, and inside the conservatory are exotic plants, interesting architecture, and unique Chihuly glass exhibits.
Ohio Statehouse* (Downtown): The Ohio Statehouse is a beautiful building that can make a dramatic backdrop to all types of images. It contains large staircases, marble floors, and high ceilings. Outside, pictures on its steps and in the surrounding park are also options.
North Market (Downtown): North Market offers something a little different, but still quintessentially Columbus, for portrait sessions. Its many unique shops and stands provide interesting and interactive backdrops, and images can also be done on its second level with a great view down over the market scene. Note that North Market can be very crowded on weekends.
Columbus Hilton* (Downtown): The Columbus Hilton is a modern building that is only a few years old.

Gahanna Creekside: This small park next to Olde Gahanna and Big Walnut Creek is a great place for portraits. It features a wooden boardwalk, paddleboats, trees, and charming storefronts close by.

Kylie Jenner Confirms: I Dress Like Kim Kardashian
Is it Kylie Jenner or Kim Kardashian? Sometimes, it's hard to tell the two apart and there's a reason for that! In a new interview, Kylie confirmed it: she has been dressing like her sister, Kim!
If you've sometimes confused Kylie Jenner, 17, with her big sister, Kim Kardashian, 34, you're not alone. The youngest KUWTK star has often reminded everyone of Kim with some of her fashion choices. Turns out that was no accident, as Kylie confirmed in a new interview that she intentionally dresses like Kim!
In an June 8 interview with InStyle, Kylie opened up about her life, her money and one of the things the youngest KUWTK star is known for: fashion! Kylie finally confirmed what everyone suspected — that she patterns her look after her big sis, Kim!
"I feel like I dress like Khloe [Kardashian] on my down days and Kim when I'm going out," Kylie told InStyle. "If I'm just running out I'll throw on a cute T-shirt, a pair of leggings and my Timberland boots. If I'm dressing up I love Céline and Saint Laurent, or for accessories Alaïa, Givenchy or Gianvito Rossi."
We knew it! Kylie has often channeled Kim, almost showing up her older sister by mimicking her looks. Plus, clock that diss on Khloe — that Kylie looks like her when she "dresses down." Yikes. Still, Kylie will be the first person to admit that she wasn't always a style icon, especially during the early seasons of KUWTK.
"Sometimes I look back at myself on previous seasons of Keeping Up With The Kardashians and think, 'Why didn't you let your hair down then, or put on something nicer?'" Kylie said. "I think now I'm much more aware when the cameras are around and I do doll up a lot more."
Kylie doesn't just dress up for the television cameras. She clearly puts on a show for all her Instagram followers, donning some incredible (and sometimes inappropriate for a teenager) outfits.
Kylie Jenner Competing With Kendall — Thinks She Has A Better Butt
While Kylie may be trying to be the second coming of Kim, she has built a friendly rivalry with her sister, Kendall Jenner. Not only does Kendall plan on staying ahead of Kylie when it comes to sexy Instagram photos, but Kylie thinks she has the better butt! "She thinks Kendall is gorgeous," a source EXCLUSIVELY told HollywoodLife.com, "but as far as bodies go — Kylie definitely thinks she has a better butt. She has always looked up to Kim and wanted a body like hers and now she has it!"
What do you think about Kylie confirming that she dresses like Kim, HollywoodLifers?

Blow Raspberries ?
What is meant by the phrase, "Blowing a Raspberry"?
How do you Blow a Raspberry?
I must admit, that, until recently I never knew what "Blowing a Raspberry" meant.
Sure, I have seen babies make those silly sounds when they are experimenting with sound, but I never heard that referred to as "the baby is blowing raspberries".
At around 5 months when babies begin to blow "spit bubbles" - a skill that helps the child learn how to move her mouth, tongue and lips together to be able to form words later, is called "blowing raspberries".
This noise is made by older kids and adults as well.
When adults or kids "blow a raspberry" it signifies silliness or derision, and used across most human cultures.
The sound is made by sticking out the tongue between the lips and then blowing.

Facial-Recognition Concerns Keep Facebook 'Moments' From Europe
Facebook is not offering its new photo-sharing app Moments in Europe because of regulators' concerns about its facial-recognition technology, the company's European policy chief said Thursday.
The Moments app, which launched earlier this week in the U.S., allows users to privately share photos with friends without posting them on Facebook. The app uses facial-recognition technology to identify people and group the images based on who is in each photo.
Richard Allan, Facebook's head of policy in Europe, said Facebook must reach an agreement with its regulator in Ireland on how to offer the technology to residents of the European Union.
"Regulators have told us we have to offer an opt-in choice to people to do this," Allan wrote in an email. "We don't have an opt-in mechanism so it is turned off until we develop one."
There is no fixed timetable for creating such a mechanism, Allan added. Technology-news site The Register earlier reported that Moments is not available in Europe.
A Facebook spokeswoman declined to comment on where the app will be made available.
Facebook's broader privacy practices have come under fire in Europe. This week, Belgium's data-protection watchdog sued Facebook over its use of "like" and "share" buttons to track Internet users' activity outside its site. At the same time, the EU's 28 member states approved a draft of a long-debated European law that would boost regulators' power over tech companies like Facebook.
Facial-recognition technology, also known as "faceprint" technology, has had a rocky reception in Europe and, to a lesser extent, the U.S. The technology works by scanning a photo of someone and comparing their features against a database of other facial scans. The ethical challenges of facial recognition are only growing as the technology's capabilities grow more sophisticated.
In late 2010, Facebook rolled out a feature, turned on by default, that used the technology to identify people in photos on its website. In 2012, the social network withdrew the feature from the EU after an audit by Irish regulators.
Other tech companies and government agencies use the technology as well, including the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the FBI. Google last month introduced an app, Google Photos, that uses facial-recognition technology to identify people in photos. A Google spokeswoman said the app is available world-wide, but the facial-recognition features are available only in the U.S.
Earlier this week, nine privacy organizations including the American Civil Liberties Union and the Electronic Frontier Foundation withdrew from talks with U.S. government agencies aimed at a "code of conduct" around facial-recognition technology.
"At a base minimum, people should be able to walk down a public street without fear that companies they've never heard of are tracking their every movement –and identifying them by name –using facial recognition technology," the groups said in a joint statement. "Unfortunately, we have been unable to obtain agreement even with that basic, specific premise."
A spokesperson for the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, the arm of the Commerce Department that was leading the talks, said the agency was "disappointed" in the withdrawal, saying the process had made "good progress" and will continue with "those stakeholders who want to participate."

"Before the dam was built, there was no water here. No water at all."
A fellow farmer from the group and her sea of green crops.
Excellent's Trusts and Foundations Fundraising Manager, Emily Brewster, sees first-hand the transformational impact a sand dam has made on a rural Kenyan community...
The dirt road down to Muuo wa Kasyomatu self-help group's sand dam is winding, bumpy and the land either side is bone-dry. There isn't much plant life, except for a few hardy scrub plants nibbled at by the odd passing goat. This doesn't look like an area that can produce anything like enough food for the people that live here.
But when we get out of our vehicle at the end of the road, it is a different story entirely. We see fields and fields of huge bright green crops. A woman calmly tills the land, pausing only briefly to wave hello to us, before returning to her work.
We walk a short way and find the handpump connected to the dam which has allowed all of these crops to grow so healthily. We each take a turn on the pump, marvelling at the clear water that flows easily out of it.
At the dam itself, we come across a man with his two donkeys, each carrying jerry cans filled with water. Before the dam, they would have faced a very long walk home every day after going out to collect water, but now this community has a source of clean water within a short walk from their homes.
We proceed to the far riverbank, to admire the extensive farming work on that side, all enabled by the group's sand dam. Here there are picturesque hills on all sides, and we are faced with acres of watermelons, spinach and tomatoes, some being tended to by members of the community. We stop to talk to Joyce Malonza, who is a member of the self-help group that built the dam. She tells me: "Before the dam was built, there was no water here. No water at all. Even we couldn't work on this farm because there wasn't water. And when it (the dam) was made, we started the work here. Now you can see how it is. We are very, very grateful about this water."
Before the dam, Joyce would walk 2-3km to collect water. She tells me that, "now, water is sufficient here... We have water all the time". So sufficient in fact, that the land is teeming with vegetables! When I ask her if life has improved, she tells me: "Yes it has improved, in fact it has improved very, very much, because now we've got vegetables. If you go up this way (she points), people have got a lot of vegetables here along the river, because of the water."
Muuo wa Kasyomatu are now doing so well with their farming, that during our visit, buyers arrived to come and choose the crops they wanted to buy. This means extra income each month, vital for everyday essentials, from food to school fees. We also found out that many of the group members weren't around because they were busy building their second sand dam nearby – using water for construction from their first dam.
This is truly a community lifting themselves out of poverty, one sand dam at a time.
Even we couldn't work on this farm because there wasn't water. And when it (the dam) was made, we started the work here. Now you can see how it is. We are very, very grateful about this water."
Joyce Malonza, member of the Muuo wa Kasyomatu self-help group.

Fifty years ago this month, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the crowning jewel of the civil-rights movement — the Voting Rights Act — into law. This momentous occasion took place five months after peaceful advocates for voting rights were brutally beaten by police as they marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama.
As we pay homage to the act, we are saddened by the state of our voting system and the lack of political will to fix it. Today, attention is focused on restoring Section 5 of the law, which required federal preapproval of any changes to voting law in certain states until it was invalidated by a 2013 Supreme Court ruling. Although we do not oppose this "fix," it is not the answer. For example, Indiana — which is not covered — had the worst turnout in the nation in the 2014 midterm elections. Focusing on restoring Section 5 is like treating a symptom and not the disease itself.
We should implement solutions that improve access to voting and get more citizens to participate in our democracy all over the United States. Why aren't our leaders following the bipartisan blueprint of 1965? On both sides of the aisle, citizenship has taken a back seat to partisanship even amid our voter-turnout crisis.
And it is a crisis.
In 2014, turnout sank to its lowest level in 72 years. Elections now appear to be more about voter suppression, with billions of dollars spent on negative ads designed to disparage candidates, than motivating supporters to vote. Redistricting to protect incumbents and maintain the status quo has become a hyper-political process in most states. And our voting system is painfully outdated.
We live in an age in which virtually everything can be done from our phones. Yet for many Americans, the ultimate act of citizenship involves standing in long lines waiting to have their names located on reams of paper that appear to have been prepared with 1980s office equipment.
Further, the day on which we hold elections — the first Tuesday after the first Monday of November — dates to a minor 1845 act of Congress. It is not in the Constitution; it is not something our founders established. Congress simply wanted Americans to all vote for president on the same day and then proceeded to choose one based on the needs of an agrarian society. Tuesday was picked because it didn't interfere with market day (traditionally a Wednesday). And that particular Tuesday? To avoid All Saints' Day (Nov. 1), of course. It all made perfect sense then. It makes no sense now.
If the Congress of 1845 could set up a system that worked well for mid-19th-century voters, surely today's Congress can set up one that works for 21st-century voters. Simple solutions are available. We have a three-step plan we call Vote 2.0.
▪ To render moot objections to laws requiring voter IDs, especially in places where not everyone can easily obtain one, we should make photo IDs available to all through our Social Security offices. President Obama could do this today via executive order. All it would take is a little of the type of courage Johnson showed in 1965.
▪ Tuesday need not be the only day we vote — indeed, only 14 states still restrict voting to a single Tuesday. It is ridiculous for us to expect single parents or folks working two jobs to be able to easily get to the polls on a Tuesday. If our elected officials think limiting voting to a Tuesday is good enough for elections, let them pledge to limit their campaign fund-raising to Tuesdays as well.
▪ The problem isn't just with the day we vote. It begins at registration, and it is time to embrace online registration. Cost is certainly not an issue, since every state that has implemented this form of voter registration modernization has saved money. At least 28 states have already adopted, or are set to adopt, an online registration program. If something as important to politicians as fund-raising can be modernized, why can't we modernize the things that make participating in our democracy possible?
We must upgrade our voting system for the times we live in. This shouldn't be difficult, but our Congress and president don't seem to have the political will to act.
Eight days after Bloody Sunday on the Edmund Pettus Bridge, the president brought the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. to tears when he went before Congress and proclaimed, "We shall overcome." We call upon today's leaders to reflect on the meaning behind King's tears of hope and ask themselves: Why haven't we overcome?
Andrew Young, a former member of Congress, mayor of Atlanta and ambassador to the United Nations, is chairman of Why Tuesday?, a voting-reform organization. Martin Luther King III is president and co-founder of the Drum Major Institute.

London: A survey has found that six out of ten women in Britain would use bribery to get their boyfriends and partners to do their bit around the house.
And with the Six Nations tournament in full flow, the bribe of the moment is: "Hang this picture up and you can watch the rugby".
Bribery is used most often when women want painting and decorating jobs done or pictures hung and coat hooks put up. The third most common usage is when some flat-pack furniture needs putting together.
While women may not own up to some of them, they admit telling their men they can buy an expensive gadget, followed by watching a favourite TV show or film, or, in third place, having a boys' night out.
The survey by Bosch Power Tools says, it all means that 61
percent of Britons now never hire a handy man.
Men are getting wise to it, with 38 percent admitting they offer to complete a DIY task to qualify for one of the privileges.
"The idea of bartering for what we want is as old as the history of social interaction itself," the Daily Express quoted psychologist Donna Dawson as saying.
"Taking this a step further by matching points to jobs and rewards appeals to our competitive natures. The reward becomes the goal and the job just happens to get done along the way," she said.
When the man is rewarded he has the pleasure of knowing he earned it.
"The battle of the sexes is an age-old phenomenon and both sides are canny enough to see the benefit of a little domestic bargaining," Chris Tidy, DIY expert from Bosch, said.
"DIY doesn't have to be difficult. It's in a man's interest to comply," Tidy added.

'Guardians of the Galaxy' Star Chris Pratt on Bringing Star-Lord to Life (PHOTOS)
But what made our visit to the set of "Guardians of the Galaxy," Disney and Marvel's upcoming, space-set superhero romp, even more bizarre, is that almost all of the actors looked otherworldly in some way (more on those actors when we're actually allowed to talk about them). The sets, located at England's famous Shepperton Studios (under the just-as-bad-ass codename "Full Tilt"), were spaceships. They took up whole warehouses of space (what seemed like football stadiums-worth of square footage) and were filled with intricate, technologically sophisticated detail.
When we were finally able to talk to Chris Pratt, who plays human being Peter Quill aka Star Lord in the film, the head of the band of merry outlaws known as the Guardians of the Galaxy that also includes sexy assassin Gamora (Zoe Saldana), hulking brute Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista), sentient tree Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel) and trigger-happy raccoon Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper), it wasn't on one of these elaborate sets but inside a cavernously empty soundstage next door, where we imagined they probably ran laps in between takes or reenacted scenes from "Big" (you know, after he gets the giant loft apartment... Ah forget it...)
Pratt had his Guardians gear underneath a white wraparound that looked like a cross between the smock that they give you at the hair salon and a Jedi knight's robe, and, for a man who was transitioning from relative obscurity (yes, "Parks and Recreation" is beloved but not exactly a ratings powerhouse) to the lead in a giant summer superhero movie, seemed, at least in that moment, at ease and perfectly calm. His cosmic flow was perfectly in balance.
In fact, Pratt seemed to shrug off most of our questions even if, when answering, electric currents of nervousness popped up now and again. When talking about being enveloped in the world, he said that the props and costumes are a huge help. "All that stuff makes my job much easier because it's doing a lot of the work for me," Pratt explained. "The props, the costume, mask and guns, everything that distracts the viewers attention from me, just in case I fuck it up please just look at the cool guns."
Keep in mind though, when we visited the props department for the movie, which looked like some kind of 33rd century, inter-dimensional armory, the technician said that they had sent Pratt his laser guns ahead of time, so that he could practice (we imagine that included scaring the cat). This was one of the moments where his charming goofiness came to the forefront, considering that he had something very different on his mind than how his ray gun looked and felt.
"They sent me the gun and I think they wanted to see how it matched up against my hand but at the time, all I was worried about was I'm going to send them pictures of me holding this gun and they're going to think I'm too fat and fire me," he revealed. (Spoiler alert: that didn't happen.) Pratt continued: "That's all I remember thinking, I was still very much in the process of losing weight so I was like sucking it in holding the gun, my wife was like, 'You look uncomfortable in this photo.' I said, 'I am! God.' So I sent in the photo and immediately after they were like, 'By the way we need to come get your sizes again.' I was like, 'I know.'"
At one point, in between cracking jokes about how hard balancing the job of playing a badass and being super funny ("By badass you mean Andy Dwyer, right? They're both super badass so it's really easy..."), Pratt turned around to shush a small cluster of extras who looked like second-tier plumbers on the Death Star. It must have been a little humiliating getting told to quiet down, especially by an American actor and superstar-in-training whose big movie wouldn't open for almost another year.
This is an aspect that he shares with the character of Star Lord, who might not be familiar to audiences as widely as, say, Iron Man or Captain America, and Pratt said that he helped come up with that famous line in the trailer when he has to explain who he is. "I remember reading it and my thought was, Why is he just saying I am Star-Lord? And then I talked to James and I was like, 'Maybe there should be this moment where it's like, Who? Who is that?' And I feel like that was something we collaborated on."
Still, Pratt insists that by the end of the movie, he'll earn his stripes, er, cool cosmic nickname. "What's great is the stakes of what happens in the movie legitimizes this nickname."
When the question was brought up as to whether or not the character's relative anonymity amongst the public at large was helpful in that he was able to make the character more fully his own, Pratt was unsure. "I don't necessarily know if it affects me one way or another. I think it probably is helpful that people don't know who he is because it would be my intention to make him my own anyways. But I think that's something that Robert Downey Jr. did with Iron Man."
Then things got wacky, but still, Pratt continued: "He came in and he is Tony Stark -- and he kind of is now because he can probably afford like weapon systems [laughs]. The guy could probably build his own suit now with all the money he's making. But to be honest, I don't know Robert Downey Jr., but I'm just assuming! I don't even know him, so maybe that's not how he is at all. Maybe he has a British accent and is a totally different person than Tony Stark. But to me it seems like, Robert Downey Jr. is Tony Stark."
Downey Jr. seems to be his role model for what he wants to do with the character. "That is something that I would like to try to do, just keep it real and keep it close to who I am, and maybe the fact that nobody knows these characters, that'll be helpful," he explained, with a combination of confidence and sheepishness. "And it probably will be helpful, because you think of it like those 'Star Wars' movies that came out, the prequels. There's a lot of expectations there, and to shoulder a project with preconceived notions, expectations and all these things, it really makes it difficult. It makes it difficult if you spend the whole movie trying to satisfy what people think they know about a character. The first 'Star Wars' didn't have that problem because it's all brand-new. You just take it for what it is."
And then, without missing a beat, Pratt delivered the deadpan button to this whole speech, "So what I'm saying is that we will be better than Star Wars."
And you definitely got a "Star Wars"-y vibe from the sets, which were, as previously reported, unbelievably massive and sci-fi-y, and from Pratt's character. He said that Marvel head Kevin Feige looked at the footage and described Star-Lord as " Han Solo-meets-Marty McFly," even though Pratt insisted that he wasn't trying to be either character, necessarily. (When trying to describe what "Guardians of the Galaxy" will be to people who are unfamiliar, we usually fall back on: "it's like if there was a 'Star Wars' movie and every character was Han Solo." Which works pretty well.)
Of course, everyone wanted to know about the physical transformation Pratt went through to get his somewhat bulkier form down to lean, mean, alien-blasting shape. He said that sometimes he would get out of the make-up chair and not even notice the guy staring back at him from the mirror: he was Star-Lord. "I mean it's a third of what I do, I think, as an actor is just what I look like, you know? I'm a prop and I talk and I listen and I feel things and I have a certain rhythm to my spirit, all of which, all of those things I can manipulate, but the way I look is also something you can manipulate," Pratt said, matter-of-factly. "That's why there are people that are just like completely dull and have nothing going on the inside, but when you look at 'em, and they look compelling. There's great symmetry or something, and you're kind of captivated by them, even though on the inside there's nothing going on!" Everyone sitting around the table, in this empty, dusty soundstage laughed because this is probably 95% of Hollywood Pratt is talking about. "Know what I mean?" Yes, Chris, we do.
While Pratt described his character as having a truly dramatic story arc, having been abducted from Earth as a young boy and now living life as an intergalactic outlaw ("He is on a quest to escape, essentially"), he said that there is still tons of comedy in the movie, thanks mainly to writer/director James Gunn's gag-heavy script and his own inclinations. "I think comedy is very, very important, especially in this film. I mean, if we pull this off right, it's going to be hard for other movies to come out that are like this. They're going to seem pretty unfunny compared to our movie, I think," Pratt explained, digging up some more of that Star-Lord bravado. "James is really, really funny. This is ultimately his movie and his voice, and you'll definitely see that humor through the course of this movie."
He then described the movie thusly: "It's important and key to making this movie work, because it's not just a straight action-adventure type of movie. I think all the best big adventure movies have comedy, like all the 'Indiana Jones' movies and 'Romancing the Stone.' Any type of movie where you have an adventure, potential budding sexual chemistry and humor all together, it really works."
And based on everything we saw, heard, and experienced through intergalactic telepathic communication on the set of "Guardians of the Galaxy," we couldn't agree more: it really works. This is going to be an out-of-control, wildly entertaining movie, and after it opens, Pratt is going to be a huge star (he's already scheduled to appear in next summer's sure-to-be-blockbuster "Jurassic World").

As the scientific and space communities mark the 50th anniversary of the Space Age initiated by Sputnik, Discovery Channel blasts into Fall with an unprecedented and daring multi-platform exploration of the Red Planet: Mars. Experts suggest we could see a successful human voyage to Mars in our lifetime, and when it happens, it will be the most ambitious, complex and dangerous expedition ever undertaken. The cornerstone of Discovery Channel's 2007-2008 Season, this landmark television event - featuring the World Premieres of "Race to Mars" (Sept. 23 premiere) and "Mars Rising"(Oct. 7 premiere) - celebrates the innovation, technology and passion that will bring the voyage to fruition. This 10-hour television event will be complemented by a fully immersive online experience at RaceToMars.ca, a companion book also titled Race to Mars; a touring exhibition with the Ontario Science Centre and a full slate of complementary programming to be unveiled soon. Discovery Channel has also tapped key experts from the documentary series as panellists for a complementary special, "Earth to Mars: The Great Space Debate," a live public event to be held in Toronto where the audience can ask the experts about future missions to Mars. The debate will stream live at DiscoveryChannel.ca and be broadcast as a one-hour special wrapping up the Channel's additional Mars-themed programming later this fall. All told, this is the boldest and biggest undertaking devoted to a single subject in Discovery Channel Canada's history. Complete descriptions and broadcast schedules for "Race to Mars"; "Mars Rising"; and "Earth to Mars: The Great Space Debate" are below as well as complete information about the Public Debate; the RaceToMars.ca Interactive and Educational Elements; About the Book Race to Mars; and About the Exhibit The Challenge of Mars for full details. (xx)Media Note(xx) - Download photography from "Race to Mars" and "Mars Rising" on-line at www.ctvmedia.ca/discovery. Premiering with back-to-back episodes on Sun., Sept. 23 at 8 p.m. ET/9 p.m. PT on Discovery Channel and Discovery HD, "Race to Mars" is a stunning 4x1hour expedition series that imagines and simulates the first manned mission to the Red Planet. Shot in High Definition and born out of the exhaustive scientific research being done today at international space agencies and laboratories, this gripping miniseries captures every exhilarating moment and draws viewers into the heart of the mission - from leaving Earth's orbit to the return voyage home. Award-winning actor Michael Riley leads the "Race to Mars" mission as Commander Rick Erwin. Following the conclusion of the expedition series, Discovery will premiere "Mars Rising", a six-hour companion documentary series that explores the science and technology being developed and tested today that will make a future mission to Mars a reality. "Mars Rising," narrated by space icon and actor William Shatner ('How William Shatner Changed the World') and premiering with back-to-back episodes on Sun., Oct. 7 at 8 p.m. ET/9 p.m. PT on Discovery Channel and Discovery HD details the significant challenges facing a mission to Mars. This future mission will require multiple spacecraft, unparalleled ingenuity and a completely new breed of astronaut. Drawing upon thousands of hours of research, interviews with top scientists and experts around the world, and employing cutting edge CGI, "Mars Rising" will explain the science behind this complex and perilous undertaking, the reasons why we will go and the physical and psychological challenges of the mission. "This will be the definitive story of the human mission to Mars," said Paul Lewis, President and General Manager of Discovery Channel. "With this unprecedented multi-platform event, our mission is to reignite excitement in the Space Age and inspire a whole new generation to look outward towards the planets." "We went to the four corners of our own planet to present the most exhaustive examination of the Red Planet," said Executive Producer and Galafilm CEO Arnie Gelbart. "With exclusive access to all 'the right stuff,' we consulted with over 300 experts in every space-related field and shot in excess of 90 locations around the world. These 10 hours will take viewers on an unforgettable ride more thrilling than any Hollywood blockbuster because it's firmly based on real science and represents a glimpse of our own future." Developed and commissioned by Discovery Channel Canada and produced by Montreal's award-winning Galafilm Inc., this combined, original 10-hour Canadian endeavour is the most expensive science television project in production this year worldwide (with a combined budget of approximately CDN $20-million). "Race to Mars" and "Mars Rising" will bring this monumental journey to worldwide audiences when international broadcast partners Discovery Networks International, The Science Channel (U.S.), ARTE (France) and NHK (Japan's public broadcaster) debut the series in the coming months. About "Race to Mars" In the year 2030, the race to be the first to reach the Red Planet is on - and China is leading the way. China has stunned the world by leapfrogging over America's long-term plans and has landed a series of advanced rovers and robotic landers in their quest to make the most important discovery in history - extraterrestrial life. Once again, America and its partners, including Canada, are thrust into a winner-take-all space race - but this time the stakes are even higher than the race to the Moon nearly seven decades earlier. The international team accelerates its plans to launch a human mission, drawing together astronauts from Canada, the United States, Russia, France and Japan for a gruelling assignment. In a capsule the size of just two school buses, these four men and two women must work together as a team and struggle with the sacrifice of leaving friends and family behind. This elite crew - after years of training and psychological evaluations - band together for the ultimate career-making mission. This journey will last for nearly 600 days and will take them 56-million kilometres away from their lives on Earth - and the physical and psychological isolation they experience will be unlike anything these astronauts have ever known. This mission asks for extraordinary human sacrifice, but the payoff - being the first to discover potential life on another planet - is irresistible to an astronaut with just "the right stuff." Among them, the driven mission commander who's never known failure - until he loses one of his own to the unforgiving environment on Mars; the rational flight surgeon who discovers a new spirituality as she grapples with the magnitude of her journey; the veteran cosmonaut who knows just how many rules can be broken; the brilliant French nuclear physicist; and the Canadian astronaut who will play a key role before the end of the journey. Training and determination will get them only so far, and when this crew sets out on humanity's first expedition to another world, nothing can prepare them for the unexpected danger and staggering wonder of what they will experience. Bringing this landmark television event to life, Michael Riley ('Supervolcano,' 'This is Wonderland') stars as astronaut Captain Rick Erwin. He is joined by joined by Pascale Bussières ('When Night is Falling') as Jackie Decelles; Lothaire Bluteau ('Jèsus de Montrèal,' 'Black Robe') as Antoine Hebert; Claudia Ferri ('Mambo Italiano,' 'Hunt for Justice') as Lucia Alarcon; Frank Schorpion ('One Dead Indian,' 'Human Trafficking') as Mikhail Cerenkov and Kevan Ohtsji ('Stargate SG-1') as Hiromi Okuda. - "Race to Mars" (Part 1) Sun., Sept 23 at 8 p.m. ET/9 p.m. PT on Discovery Channel and Discovery HD As the Terra Nova begins its 583-day trip to Mars, the mission led by American Commander Rick Erwin (Michael Riley) is plagued by electrical power system malfunctions. Canadian flight engineer (Pascale Bussières) is forced to jettison one of the Canadarms. Tension mounts between the Russian co-pilot (Frank Schorpion) and the French flight engineer (Lothaire Bluteau). A Chinese craft with a robotics crew lands on Mars. Mission Control advises that Terra Nova's electrical system is compromised and suggests aborting the mission. - "Race to Mars" (Part 2) Sun., Sept 23 at 9 p.m. ET/10 p.m. PT on Discovery Channel and Discovery HD The crew ignores Mission Control's advice and lands safely on Mars but Japanese astronaut Hiromi (Kevan Ohtsji) is injured. The Chinese mission finds water but it is too salty to support life. The Terra Nova's equipment is wearing out faster than anticipated. The crew seeks international permission to use the abandoned Chinese drill to complete their work. - "Race to Mars" (Part 3) Sun., Sept 30 at 8 p.m. ET/9 p.m. PT on Discovery Channel and Discovery HD The crew hits water but the drill explodes killing Hiromi. The entire crew is ill. The flight surgeon (Claudia Ferri) suggests they break the seal on one of the Mars samples and test for alien contamination. It's a moral quandary: do they accept possible death from this undiagnosed disease or face a possible lifetime of quarantine on Earth if they are contagious? - "Race to Mars" (Part 4) Sun., Sept 30 at 9 p.m. ET/10 p.m. PT on Discovery Channel and Discovery HD Mission Control has detected the system flaw: the master clock has been resetting to its default pre-launch position - giving no indication of any malfunctions. The crew is suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning. It is not Mars but faulty technology which is killing the astronauts. Rick and Antoine exit the craft to repair and replace the faulty electrical boards. After 583 days, the mission is complete. About "Mars Rising" Shot in HD in over 90 locations, the companion documentary series "Mars Rising" explores how the challenges being grappled with today will lead to a manned mission to Mars in the next 20 years. Film crews captured interviews, training sessions and experiments in the United States, Russia, Chile, China, Europe and across Canada, including the Canadian Arctic. Over 300 scientists from diverse backgrounds and nationalities were consulted for the series and more than 60 space experts, including former and current astronauts, appear on camera. Among the critical subjects explored through the series include spaceship design, possible trajectories, rocket fuel, finding new life forms, new thoughts on astronaut selection and training, space suit engineering, medical training for deep space, blasting through the Mars atmosphere, life support systems and robotics. Among the distinguished experts appearing in the series, three experts with very different backgrounds stand out: James Garvin, lead scientist for Mars and Lunar Exploration at NASA; Paul Delaney, Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Toronto's York University; and Academy-Award winning filmmaker James Cameron ('Titanic') who is a member of NASA's special advisory committee. The astronauts interviewed on "Mars Rising" include Chris Hadfield, the first Canadian mission specialist and the first Canadian to operate the Canadarm in orbit; Canadian Dave Williams currently on board the Atlantis and expected to make three space walks on the Shuttle Endeavour in August 2007; retired NASA astronaut Jerry Linenger, who spent 132 days aboard the ISS Mir in 1997; and Jeffrey Hoffman who was inducted into the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame earlier this year. William Shatner narrates "Mars Rising" - and it's not the first time that the multiple-award-winning actor has worked with Discovery Channel Canada! Commissioned by Discovery Channel, the hit 2005 special 'How William Shatner Changed the World' was hosted and narrated by the Star Trek icon, and based on his book, I'm Working On That. The cheeky and irreverent doc showcased the brightest minds of Silicon Valley and their Trek-inspired inventions that have changed the world. - "Mars Rising: Journey to the Red Planet" Sun., Oct. 7 at 8 p.m. ET /9 p.m. PT on Discovery Channel and Discovery HD Dr. James Garvin, lead scientist for Mars and Lunar Exploration at NASA; and Dr. Paul Delaney, Professor Physics and Astronomy at Toronto's York University, set the stage outlining the extraordinary challenges and obstacles faced by the international space community in sending a manned mission to Mars - and bringing it back. - "Mars Rising: Rocket Power" Sun., Oct. 7 at 9 p.m. ET/10 p.m. PT on Discovery Channel and Discovery HD The spacecraft that will take a crew to Mars will be assembled - in space. Up to 10 rockets will be required to carry equipment and the astronauts to the mothership. The 56-million-kilometre journey to and from the Red Planet could take up to three years. Will the fuel be thermo-nuclear or super-heated charged particles? Engineers must get it right the first time - or the astronauts will die. - "Mars Rising: Staying Alive" Sun., Oct. 14 at 7 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT on Discovery Channel and Discovery HD Zero gravity depleting muscle and bone mass, cosmic radiation causing brain damage and cancer, six astronauts in a confined and limited environment for up to three years - a voyage to Mars could be punishing for the human body. How will we protect it? - "Mars Rising: The Human Factor" Sun., Oct. 21 at 7 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT on Discovery Channel and Discovery HD The human spirit itself may be the Achilles heel of the Mars Mission. Mental breakdown, sexual tension, near-suicide and mutiny have already taken place on shorter space missions. There is a 50 per cent failure rate in Mars landings - how do they persevere against the odds? - "Mars Rising: Six Minutes of Terror" Sun., Oct. 28 at 7 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT on Discovery Channel and Discovery HD The last six minutes of the flight to Mars are the most terrifying. Only an inflatable aeroshell will protect the capsule as it enters Mars' atmosphere at a temperature of 4,000?C and a speed of 16,000 km/hr. After the capsule's speed has been slowed, the astronauts have 90 seconds to pinpoint a safe place to land. - "Mars Rising: Search for Life" Sun., Nov. 4 at 7 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT on Discovery Channel and Discovery HD Is there life on Mars? Scientists in North America are combing the most barren places on Earth to search out bacteria, amino acids or carbonates that might offer clues. What if Mars has its own independently created life forms which are deadly to humans? Researchers on the Arctic's frigid Devon Island, British Columbia's Pavilion Lake, Chile's Atacama Desert and caves in New Mexico offer compelling research data. "Earth to Mars: The Great Space Debate" Sun., Nov. 11 at 7 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT on Discovery Channel This one-hour special wraps up "Race to Mars" and "Mars Rising" and puts plans for a manned mission to Mars under the microscope with the ultimate litmus test. An esteemed panel of scientists and space experts dissect the risks, challenges and dangers of a mission that could last as long as three years. Moderated by "Daily Planet" co-host Jay Ingram, the "Earth To Mars: The Great Space Debate" panel features NASA Chief Scientist James Garvin; co-founder of The Mars Society Robert Zubrin; and Psychiatrist and former NASA flight surgeon Doctor Pat Santy. Featuring illustrative scenes from "Race to Mars" and "Mars Rising," the experts will tackle everything from the astronomical expense involved in mounting a human mission to the Red Planet, to crew selection and cabin fever, to the probability of life on Mars. In addition to the panel debate, this special will feature exclusive expert testimonials along with exclusive behind the scenes footage from the production of "Race to Mars." About the Public Debate Join the debate! The "Earth To Mars: The Great Space Debate" special will be taped on Sat., Sept. 15 at The Music Hall in Toronto at 7:30 p.m. ET.

text: I'm just using the default cheat.dat that comes with the release but I'm not getting the cheat option for any of my games. I got options before with the 1.08 release for some games. I can remember Elite Beat Agents off the top of my head but that does not have cheat options with the new update. I tried the old cheat.dat and that didn't work either. Any suggestions?

Supervalu is enhancing its vision to become America's Neighborhood Grocer with new projects focused on improving the competitive performance at the company's traditional retail grocery stores, and on growing its Save-A-Lot and independent retail businesses. To achieve its vision, the company is investing in and deploying new tools and capabilities to support its diverse variety of owned and licensed formats and the many different independent grocers through which consumers are served daily.
Supervalu CEO and president Craig Herkert said, "We are focused on acting as one company, working toward a common goal of delivering increased value to all of our customers and meeting their needs neighborhood by neighborhood."
The company's senior management team outlined key initiatives the company is undertaking to reverse sales declines at its traditional retail banners and get them back on the path to growth. The efforts underway include:
Sharpening the traditional retail banners' value proposition through a fair everyday pricing plus promotion strategy;
Enhancing fresh offerings, which includes providing customers with more locally grown produce, introducing a new "Just Baked" program to ensure the availability of fresh-baked breads and rolls throughout the day, and improving deli department offerings with new products like grilled chicken;
Developing and maintaining a portfolio of compelling private brand products that differentiate our retail outlets from our competition and provide more competitive value for customers;
Better matching store assortment and format to the needs of each neighborhood; and
Providing a more hassle-free experience both in-store and online.
In discussing its private brands program, Herkert said that the company expects to deliver a 100 basis point annual improvement in private brand sales per year over the next three years. As part of its plans, the company announced that it intends to move to a new single national-brand-equivalent private brand -- Essential Everyday -- to replace existing banner-branded products. With the introduction of the Essential Everyday brand, which will roll-out in phases, the company will be able to realize significant savings through packaging and taking a more national approach to advertising and promotions.
The company also plans to expand its Shoppers Value entry price-point private brand line and will be launching or relaunching 80 new items in the coming months.
At the meeting, the company discussed its plans to continue to aggressively support the national expansion of Save-A-Lot, its hard-discount format. Those plans include growing Save-A-Lot by 160 new stores in fiscal 2012, keeping the company on track to reach its goal of building a network of more than 2,400 stores by 2015.
The Save-A-Lot portfolio includes a blend of 30 percent corporate-owned and 70 percent licensee-operated stores. This multiple-ownership model supports the company's aggressive growth strategy, while helping it conserve capital.
During the meeting, the company announced the addition of the Save-A-Lot Today brand to its private brand program. The new Save-A-Lot Today brand is an opening price point line with most products priced under $1 to help its value-focused customers stretch their dollars.
